Abstract
The concept of cyclical influence between individuals and society is widely accepted, but hard to understand in all details. This paper proposes the use of three processes of social influence as a way to study the link between social and individual levels of abstraction. These processes are used to design an agent architecture which tries to provide explicit links to its social context. In order to detail the impact of the social influence, the architecture also includes personality and emotional aspects.
